Bangkok

Located in Southeast Asia, Thailand is known for its famous beaches, delicious food and rich culture. A popular tourist destination, it attracts millions of people from all over the world every year. A county with a very diverse geography, Thailand boasts mountains, rainforests, and islands. Thai is the official language, although many people do also speak English, on account of there being so many tourists. All-in-all, Thailand is a beautiful and welcoming country, just waiting for you to settle in, and explore.

As mentioned, Thailand in one of the most travelled to places in the world, so the tourism industry is massive. In 2019, Bangkok ranked number one in Mastercard’s list of global destination cities. the country’s manufacturing industry focuses on electronics, automotive, and textiles. Thailand is a major manufacturer of Toyota cars and truck and is also home to the company’s Asian headquarters. The world’s largest food and beverage company, Nestle SA, also has its base of International oppositions in the country, along with China’s number one telecoms company, Huawei Technologies. Since 2015 more than 300 multinational companies have taken advantage of Thailand’s Board of Investment, so there are many options for successful employment.

The country’s public transport systems are affordable and well-developed, making it a convenient choice for those wanted to get around. If you are staying in Bangkok, the BTS, or Skytrain, is a rapid transit system with two lines which cover most of the city. Buses are going to be the most popular way for you to get around the various cities in the country, which is followed closely by the Tuk-tuk, which are three-wheeled vehicles that can zip between congestion and also provide a very entertaining experience. Agree on a price before you travel to avoid being overcharged!

If you want the bustling metropolis experience, then finding a place to live in Bangkok will be the first place to consider. With vibrant nightlife, plenty of cultural attractions, and fantastic dining options, the capital city of Thailand is a truly fantastic city. Chiang Mai is known for its temples, mountains, and relaxed lifestyle, and is a popular destination for retirees. Phuket is the place to go for beach lovers and mouthwatering seafood. It is also the biggest island of Thailand, and famous for its outstanding nightlife.

Thailand’s education system has significantly improved in recent years, both in access and quality. School is compulsory for nine years (six in elementary and three in low secondary) and is free until grade nine. Halcyon London international, International School Bangkok, and Bromsgrove International are some great options for schooling outside of the Thai curriculum. Depending on the age of your child and the level of school they attend, prices range from eight thousand to ten thousand pounds per year. The top universities are Chulalongkorn, Mahidol, and Chiang Mai Universities.

There seems to be a never-ending list of the things you can do whilst in Thailand, but here are some recommendations. Thailand is known for its ornate Buddhist Temples, so visiting Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Phra That Doi Suthep are a must. The country also has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, so it is the perfect place to work on that tan! Then there is the street food to fill yourself up on, the night life to find new friends and dance the night away, and the gorgeous national parks to wander around.
